My husband and I just got married here on Saturday, and it was absolutely spectacular! It was the fairytale wedding I’ve always dreamed of. The staff were fantastic throughout the entire planning process and equally amazing throughout the day itself. From the second we arrived on the day right up to when I was getting in the car to leave at the end of the night, staff were still helping me, which just made me feel so special! The grounds are beautiful and well maintained, the marquee was incredible, the food delicious, and all staff were helpful and polite.
Thank you so much to coolibah downs, you set the scene for the magical Disney fairytale wedding we’ve always dreamed of!

My daughter and her partner chose Coolibah Downs Private Estate for their wedding earlier this month. What an absolutely amazing venue! I went to the chapel about 15 years ago for another function and this is one of those locations that you never forget, so when my daughter was getting married Coolibah Downs was at the top of my list to show them. They were just as impressed as I had been all those years ago and the grounds have maintained their magic all of this time. The day went perfectly, nothing was too much trouble for the staff and throughout the whole planning process Mel, our Wedding Coordinator could not have been more helpful answering all of the endless questions that come with planning such an important event. On the day of the wedding Mel was there to handle everything and it was so great knowing that she had everything working in the background just as she knew that we’d want it to be.

. We would not hesitate to recommend Coolibah Downs Private Estate to anyone who is looking for the absolute perfect venue for their wedding.

The food surpassed our expectation, it was amazing and we received many compliments during the evening for the food and in fact the entire venue. We would not hesitate to recommend Coolibah Downs Private Estate to anyone who is looking for the absolute perfect venue for their wedding.

Good evening Emma

Firstly can I say what a great job you did as co-ordinator and you left nothing to chance. You were great accommodating us

with the other two wines and I think you did an amazing job overall. Our overseas family members and friends were in awe of the

venue and as with us were stunned by the beautifully set up reception room. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and

were so pleased the weather turned it on for Georgia and Kurtis.

Our compliments must go the chef and catering team as everyone commented on the good quality food and how perfectly cooked

and presented the entrees and main dishes were. Also the desserts were so delicious and one of the favourites was the Lime pie.

Thank you again Emma for all your help in making our day special. I have no hesitation in recommending Coolibah Downs to any

potential couples as it is a superb destination.
